Description: In the last days of World War II, Lt. Gina Cortazzo follows close behind the American front to rescue art stolen by the Nazis. Her success awaits the capture of Alt Aussee, the salt mine where thousands of stolen masterpieces in Hitler's private collection are hidden. However, SS Brigadefürer Reinhard Hofmann and his crack forces have been ordered to destroy the entire collection, should it be in danger of falling into enemy hands. Throughout the chaos, Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man" weaves a spell that alters the lives of those caught in the maelstrom.
